Empress Dowager Yang died soon after, and was given the posthumous title of Gong Sheng Ren Lie. Concubine Jia was given special favor, and her younger brother was named Jia Sidao. He had always behaved badly, but he was appointed as a Tianling magistrate. Jia Sidao visited the houses of women in brothels every day.

, and wandered on the lake at night. Zhao Yun once looked out from a high position and saw the bright lights in the West Lake, so he said to his left and right: "It must be Jia Sidao who is wandering around again." The next day, he sent someone to ask, and it was true.

Zhao Yun then ordered Shi Yanzhi, the Yin of the capital, to warn Jia Sidao. Shi Yanzhi said: "Jia Sidao is unruly and unruly. It is a young man's habit, but his talent can be put to great use. Your Majesty should not stick to trivial matters." Zhao Yun believed it to be true.

From then on, the meaning of Jia Sidao was used. In addition to Jia Guifei, there was also the palace maid Yan who was also named Wanrong. She was as beautiful as Jia Nu. She was able to pamper the harem and work with Dong Songchen and others, both internally and externally.

So Zhen and Wei Erxian advised Zhao Yun to stay away from women.

Zhao Yun promoted Zhen Dexiu to participate in political affairs. Zhen Dexiu was already ill at this time and resigned many times, so he was awarded the bachelor's degree in Zizheng Palace and promoted to Wanshou Palace. He died soon after. Zhao Yun posthumously awarded him the posthumous title of Guanglu Doctor.

He was named Wenzhong. Zhen Dexiu died of illness. Among the celebrities at the same time as him, there was only one Wei Liaoweng. Wei Liaoweng's courtesy name was Huafu, his alias was Heshan, and he was a native of Pujiang, Qiongzhou.

Wei Liaoweng was born in June of the fifth year of Chunxi. He was extremely intelligent when he was young. When he was only a few years old, he followed his elder brother to study in school, and he looked like an adult. As he got older, Wei Liaoweng could read more than a thousand books a day.

He had a photographic memory and was called a child prodigy in his hometown. At the age of fifteen, he wrote "Han Yu Lun".

In the fifth year of Qingyuan, Wei Liaoweng ranked third among the Jinshi. At that time, it was taboo to talk about "Taoism", but Wei Liaoweng mentioned it in his policy papers. Later, Wei Liaoweng was awarded the official title of Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu Magistrate's Office. He

He devoted himself to official duties in office. In the first year of Kaixi, he was summoned to take the bachelor's degree examination. At that time, Han Zhouzhou was planning the Northern Expedition, and Wei Liaoweng came to him and said that "the country's discipline and principles are not established, the country's affairs are uncertain, the customs are sloppy, the border preparations are ineffective, and the wealth is withered."

Because of the depletion of talent and the weakening of talents" and "the golden land is vast and powerful, there is no way to conquer it. I have to rely on myself, but I have not found the ability to defeat others." He believed that the most urgent task was to "internally cultivate". As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Wei Liaoweng was then appointed secretary of the province. Xu Nan, the supervisory censor, impeached Wei Liaoweng for "arrogant countermeasures", but Han Yuzhou did not deal with it any more.

The following year, Wei Li Weng was promoted to Secretary Provincial Secretary. He resigned on the grounds of his parents' old age and was sent to Jiading as the prefect. When he arrived in Jiangling on his way to the post, Wu Xi, deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Sichuan, rebelled against the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty.

As a result, Weng failed to take office. An Bing, Li Haoyi, Yang Juyuan and others killed Wu Xi and put down the rebellion. Wei Liaoweng received an order to be dismissed on his way to office, so he returned to his hometown of Pujiang with his parents. After Shi Miyuan secretly killed Han Zhouzhou, Liu Yao

It was suggested that Shi Miyuan should believe in Neo-Confucianism and hire famous Neo-Confucian scholars to beautify his image. The imperial court then recruited various sages, including Wei Liaoweng.

In the first year of Jiading, Shi Miyuan became the prime minister and took charge of state affairs. Wei Liaoweng was aware of Shi Miyuan's intention of "recruiting wise men" from the beginning, so he emphatically resigned from the imperial edict. Soon after his father passed away, Wei Liaoweng dismissed his official position and observed the funeral.

, Heshan Academy was built at the foot of Baihe Gang in the west of Qiongzhou. He wrote books, taught disciples, preached doctrines, and promoted Neo-Confucianism. Therefore, the people in Shu knew Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism. After the mourning period of Wei Liaoweng expired, he was appointed as the magistrate of Hanzhou. In office, Wei Liao

Weng exempted and exempted the people from paying taxes, but due to accidents involving bridge damage and human lives in his jurisdiction, he was demoted to the rank of palace envoy. A few months later, Wei Liaoweng was appointed as the magistrate of Meizhou.

As a Neo-Confucian scholar, Wei Liaoweng met Zhu Xi and Zhang Shi and had already given them posthumous titles. In the spring of the following year, he petitioned Zhou Dunyi to be given a posthumous title on the grounds that Zhou Dunyi had held an official position in Hezhou, Benlu. At the same time, he also asked Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi to be given posthumous titles. After repeated petitions from Wei Liaoweng, the imperial court gave Zhou Dunyi the posthumous title of "Yuan", Cheng Hao of "Chun" and Cheng Yi of "Zheng". Wei Liaoweng further asked Zhang Zai to be given the posthumous title, and asked the four of them to be enshrined in the Confucius Temple. , the imperial court later gave Zhang Zai the posthumous title "Ming", but did not agree to enshrine the four people in the Confucius Temple. This greatly improved the reputation of the Neo-Confucian school and laid the foundation for Neo-Confucianism to gain a unique position in the future.

In the ninth year of Jiading, Wei Liaoweng acted as a road-level supervisor for the prefect of Suining Prefecture on this road. In the fourteenth year of Jiading, the imperial court promoted Wei Liaoweng to serve as a prison official on Tongchuan Road. During these fifteen years, he served successively He held positions such as transfer judge, direct secret cabinet official, secretary supervisor, etc. He has great achievements in governance and is well-known. After Zhao Yun came to the throne, the current situation was changeable. Wei Weng was worried and became ill. He asked to retire three times, but was not approved. He took up the post of Minister of Living. At that time, Zhao Yun was uneasy because of the "untimely thunder", which he thought was abnormal. Wei Liaoweng came into contact, expounded Neo-Confucianism and political opinions, pointed out the role of "heart", and sought long-term peace and stability for Zhao Yun, and persuaded him to do so. He listens to different opinions fairly and treats people and things equally.

Zhao Hong, who was deposed as King Ji, died violently because Zhao Yun was established by Shi Miyuan without permission, while the former prince Zhao Hong was deposed by the imperial edict. Shi Miyuan always regarded Zhao Hong as a thorn in his side, so the officials responsible for the funeral acted accordingly The burial ceremony was not scrawled, and the burial ceremony was not up to standard, so rumors spread. Every time Wei Liaoweng met with Zhao Yun, he would remonstrate with him and ask him to be lenient on human relations and to bury Zhao Hong generously, thus quelling the rumors. The only ministers in the court were Wei Liaoweng and Hong Zikui. , Hu Mengyu and Zhang Zhongshu cited scriptures and bluntly criticized and admonished them, while Wei Liaoweng was even more angry and asked to resign because of his illness.

Youzhengyan Li Zhixiao impeached Hu Mengyu, who was demoted to Lingnan, and Wei Liaoweng bid farewell to him. Li Zhixiao accused Wei Liaoweng of advocating dissent and prepared to write a letter of impeachment, but Shi Miyuan specifically expressed tolerance. Within two days, he admonished the doctor Zhu Duanchang impeached him for deceiving the world, stealing reputation, and having evil friends and slandering the country. The imperial court demoted Wei Liaoweng to a third rank and demoted him to live in Jingzhou. Soon, Wei Liaoweng returned to the court, and Shi Miyuan wanted to win over him, but he did not agree. So Wei Liaoweng Wei Liaoweng has been promoted step by step and has not held any important positions. In three years, he traveled all over the country. Wei Liaoweng was diligent and respectful, devoted himself to teaching Neo-Confucianism knowledge, and wrote the "Nine Classics Essentials", a total of 260 Three volumes.

In the fourth year of Shaoding, Wei Liaoweng was reinstated and was in charge of Chongyou Temple in Wuyi Mountain. He was later promoted to Baozhang Pavilion, pacifier of Tongchuan Road, and magistrate of Luzhou. Luzhou was a large vassal and controlled a border area of ​​2,000 miles, but its armaments were not maintained. , the city walls were in disrepair. Wei Liaoweng then petitioned to repair the city towers, walls and battlements of Luzhou, purchase additional ordnance, train shield bearers, declare military discipline, establish schools, exempt tax arrears, restore communes and warehouses, build free graves, and repair Almshouse. He took office only a few months ago, and already everything was in ruins.

After Shi Miyuan's death, Zhao Yun took charge of the government, and Wei Liaoweng was promoted to the position of Huawen Pavilion and was rewarded with a gold belt. Since entering the dynasty, Wei Liaoweng saw that some high-ranking officials and dignitaries were monopolizing power, abusing laws and disciplines, and having no rules, which led to the corruption of the regime. , hopeless. He hates evil as much as his enemies. On the way to take office in response to the imperial edict, he gave Zhao Yun a message: "There are ten shortcomings in the current government. It is recommended to restore the good traditions of the past to show the new great achievements." His ten suggestions for rectifying the government. , discuss more than ten thousand words, quote facts, address current issues, and argue

No, it’s about the pros and cons. After Zhao Yun finished reading, he was deeply inspired and shocked. He took the memorial in his hand and read it into chant. Since then, the old regulations have been restored.

In October of the first year of Duanping, Wei Liaoweng was appointed as the Minister of Rites and the direct academic academy. He was loyal to his duties, discussed political affairs, observed the people's sentiments, visited talents, summoned ministers to discuss things, and did things seriously and solidly, living up to the expectations of the people. Returning to the Sixth Dynasty

For months, he wrote more than 20 chapters in total, all of which were top priorities. Zhao Yun wanted Wei Liaowen to participate in discussing national affairs, but those who were jealous of him worked together to exclude him, making him unable to stay in office with peace of mind.

Because Wei Liaoweng was familiar with military books, art of war, and the ability of the country, he was appointed as a bachelor of Duanming Palace, participated in confidential work, wrote documents, etc., and was appointed as a member of the Privy Council. In December, he supervised the Jianghuai Jinghu Army and Horses.

When the Mongolian army invaded the territory and lost the war, the court was panicked and Zhao Yun was worried. After a routine pilgrimage, Zhao Yun presented Wei Liaoweng with a poem by Yan Wu of the Tang Dynasty written by himself: "Last night the autumn wind entered the Han Pass, and by the clouds

The moon is full in the west mountain. I will urge the flying generals to pursue the arrogant captives, and do not send back the horses on the battlefield." and the four characters "Heshan Academy". He also presented gold and saddled horses, and ordered the prime minister and important ministers to hold a farewell banquet outside the gate.

After Wei Liaoweng took charge of the border war, he appointed Wu Qian as the staff officer, Zhao Shanchao and Ma Guangzu as the council officers, reiterated military regulations, strictly enforced military discipline, took the lead, strengthened military training, and the military strength greatly increased. He reminded the generals to strengthen vigilance and dispatch

Reinforce the troops, appease the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, remove the generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and promptly report to Zhao Yun ten things about border defense.

In the first month of the third year of Duanping, Wei Liaoweng was recalled and appointed as a Privy Council member. When he went to the border to report, he submitted his resignation due to illness. Those who deliberately excluded Wei Liaoweng had already peeped there and were ready to make a move. They took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames.

This created a lot of public opinion, so Wei Liaoweng was recalled again. This was not Zhao Yun's original intention. Wei Liaoweng asked to return to his hometown, but Zhao Yun refused, so he was appointed as a bachelor of Zizheng Palace.

Zhao Yun also summoned Cui Yu to participate in politics. Cui Yu once served as an envoy to Sichuan. The imperial court called him to be the Minister of Rites, but he begged to return to Guangzhou and refused to accept the order. Since then, he has been repeatedly summoned. At this time, the eastern Guangdong destroyed the front army.

After the rebellion broke out, the imperial court appointed him as the pacifier. The Destroying Army was transferred to Jiankang and stationed for four years. After withdrawing from the garrison, they did not cross Wuling and stayed in Jiangxi for another four years. This army fought in various places and was invincible. However,

The shogunate did not report their merits, and when their garrison period expired, they were not allowed to return to Guangdong.

The Destroying Front Army launched a mutiny in July of the second year of Duanping. The rebels, led by Zeng Zhong, returned to Guangdong from Jiangxi via Meizhou, burned Huiyang, and drove to Guangzhou Fucheng, where they learned that Guangzhou Fucheng fled overnight. Cui Yuyu was living at home at the time, and saw

The situation was serious, so he led his militiamen to the city tower to meet the rebels despite being sick, and asked about the cause of the rebellion. When the rebels saw it, they immediately bowed down under the city and explained the cause of the rebellion. Cui Yu sent his disciples Li Pleiying and Yang Wangzhong to ride on a hanging basket from the city wall.

He went to the rebels and taught them the principle of rebelliousness and prosperity, and issued an order to allow the rebels to start anew. Most of the rebels returned home and dispersed, but Zeng Zhong led a few people to retreat to Duanzhou.

The imperial court learned of the trouble in Guangdong and appointed Cui Yu as the economic and pacification envoy of Guangdong and to know Guangzhou. Cui Yu was appointed to manage the affairs at home, and ordered Peng Xuan to punish the remaining rebels secretly. The transferred armies gathered together.
